Eligibility to Register – Current or Returning Students. Students who are enrolled for the Fall 2009 semester and who are eligible to register were assigned a Registration Priority.

After logging on to WESS, select Registration Status (below the heading "Registration), then select the appropriate term (semester). Registration Priority assignments will be between November 9 -16, 2009.

Undergraduate students who are enrolled for the Fall 2009 semester were assigned a Registration Priority according to the number of credits earned. Credits for which students are enrolled during the Fall 2009 semester are NOT counted as credits earned.

Graduate students who are enrolled for the Fall 2009 semester were assigned a Registration Priority according to the number of credits earned and within their classification status. Students who have matriculated into their given program were assigned a higher priority than those with deferred matriculated, conditionally matriculated and non-degree status. Credits for which students are enrolled during the Fall 2009 semester are NOT counted as credits earned.

Students, who choose not to attend classes, must officially withdraw from courses or will be financially and academically liable for all charges on their bill. Failure to drop course(s) either through WESS or through submitted written notice will result in a grade of "F" for the courses not attended. In order to prevent financial and academic liability, students are responsible for reviewing their schedule through WESS to make certain that they have indeed dropped their course(s).
